He is now recovering from an unusual injury.\"There were like three gashes on this side and three on the other,\" witness Robert Walthier said. \"He said something bit his neck and knocked him off his feet.\"According to officials, the boy was waist deep in water when he bent over to touch the sand and was bit.The bite happened near the 100 block of Ocean Shore Boulevard, not far from the busy Granada Boulevard beach approach. It is an area not known for shark bites, according to Volusia County Beach Patrol Ocean Rescue Capt. Tammy Marris.\"They just started wrapping up his shoulder with gauze,\" witness Hailey Tarlini said. \"I'm not going in the water after that.\"The bite is considered minor.
